About Flagstaff, Arizona: Pioneers, Prophets, and the Mother Road
At 7,000 feet above sea level, nestled among the world's largest stand of ponderosa pines and in the shadow of the majestic San Francisco Peaks, Flagstaff is one of the crown jewels of Route 66.
Founded in the late 19th century as a railroad and lumber town, Flagstaff quickly grew into a bustling gateway to Northern Arizona's wonders. By the time Route 66 arrived in 1926, it was already a vital supply and service center for travelers, offering everything from fine hotels to classic roadside diners.
During the golden age of the Mother Road, downtown Flagstaff buzzed with neon lights, music-filled bars, and the steady hum of travelers heading to the Grand Canyon or crossing the high desert. Iconic landmarks like the Hotel Monte Vista (built in 1927) and the Weatherford Hotel still anchor the historic district, their walls echoing with the stories of movie stars, adventurers, and everyday road trippers.
Flagstaff is also a city of science and exploration. It is the home of Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was first discovered in 1930: an achievement that cemented Flagstaff’s place in astronomical history. The city’s high-altitude skies and clear air continue to make it an ideal center for research, earning it the distinction of being the world’s first International Dark Sky City.
Cultural vibrancy is another hallmark of Flagstaff. As the home of Northern Arizona University, it boasts a youthful energy and a thriving arts scene, with galleries, live music venues, and seasonal festivals adding to its lively atmosphere. Legendary Route 66 spots like the Museum Club, a 1930s roadhouse famous for its rustic log architecture and live music, still welcome visitors looking for a taste of old-school highway hospitality.
Surrounded by the Coconino National Forest and located just 80 miles from the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. This unique combination of history, culture, science, and natural beauty makes Flagstaff not only the "Capital of Northern Arizona," but also one of the most memorable and essential stops on the Mother Road.
